00:00:56THE END
00:01:26The channel's here on the chart, all right.
00:01:44And so are the marking lights.
00:01:45Then what's wrong with them?
00:01:48Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.
00:01:51They're both a bit out of position, according to this.
00:01:53Two light boys mean a safe channel between the world over.
00:01:57Safe between the world over doesn't go in these waters.
00:02:00Look here.
00:02:02You'll see the water shoals on the island side,
00:02:05while the deep soundings run to the mainland.
00:02:08Have any of you seen the captain today?
00:02:09No, he wasn't down for dinner.
00:02:11No, and he wasn't down for lunch.
00:02:14He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.
00:02:17What are you driving at?
00:02:20Ever since you gave him those orders yesterday to cut through these waters,
00:02:23he's had the jitters.
00:02:25There's something wrong.
00:02:28I'm getting nerves myself.
00:02:30Doc, what do you recommend for nerves?
00:02:32Give him a shot of scotch.
00:02:33Good.
00:02:33Give him the whole bottle.
00:02:34No, I've got nerves, too.
00:02:36Here you are, Doc.
00:02:37Just what you need.
00:02:42Well, maybe you're right.
00:02:45Yes, I'll do it.
00:02:48Good evening, Captain.
00:02:49Good evening, sir.
00:02:50May I speak with you?
00:02:52Why, certainly.
00:02:54Go ahead.
00:02:55We're heading straight for the channel between Brank Island and the mainland.
00:02:58Good.
00:02:59But the lights are just a bit off, according to the chart.
00:03:02But charts are never up to date in this part of the Pacific.
00:03:05You know that.
00:03:05I know, sir, but...
00:03:07Doesn't Brank Island mean anything to you?
00:03:10Well, not a lot.
00:03:12Well, perhaps if I could talk with Mr. Rainsford, he...
00:03:14But Bob's not a sailor.
00:03:15He's a hunter.
00:03:15He's made many of these trips.
00:03:17He's young, but he has judgment.
00:03:19I'll call him.
00:03:21Oh, Bob.
00:03:23Bob.
00:03:23What is it?
00:03:24Come up here, will you?
00:03:26Just a minute.
00:03:27What's bothering you, Captain?
00:03:28There are no more coral reef, shark-infested waters in the whole world than these.
00:03:34Boy, just take a look at these.
00:03:37You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter, Doc.
00:03:38But, oh, what a photographer.
00:03:40Say, if we'd had you to take pictures on the Sumatran trip, they might have believed my book.
00:03:44If you'd have had me on the Sumatran trip, you'd never had me on this one.
00:03:48Say, here's the swell one of the ship, Skipper.
00:03:52What's the matter?
00:03:53These old sea dogs tell Yarns to kid each other and end up believing it all themselves.
00:03:56Well, I think that Mr. Rainsford should know that the channel lights aren't just in the position given on the chart.
00:04:02Oh.
00:04:03Well, what do you think, fellas?
00:04:05I think we should turn back and take the outside course.
00:04:08Oh, no, no, no.
00:04:09We'll go ahead.
00:04:12Very well, sir.
00:04:14It's your ship.
00:04:20It was the schooner Hesperus, and she sailed the Wintry Sea.
00:04:23Now, wait a minute, fellas.
00:04:24Let's talk this over.
00:04:25There's no use taking any chances.
00:04:27Chances?
00:04:27That's fine talk coming from a fellow who just got through slapping tigers in the face.
00:04:31Here, get an eyeful of this.
00:04:34And he talks about taking chances.
00:04:36Here's the doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera.
00:04:39Get the expression on Doc's face, Bill.
00:04:41He looks more frightened than the tiger.
00:04:43He is.
00:04:45Just what you have on your mind, Doc.
00:04:48I'll tell you what I had on my mind.
00:04:49I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.
00:04:53The beast of the jungle, killing just for his existence, is called savage.
00:04:57The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized.
00:05:01Yeah, yeah.
00:05:01It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?
00:05:03Now, just a minute.
00:05:04What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
00:05:09Now, take that fellow right there, for instance.
00:05:11There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.
00:05:13But he didn't want to.
00:05:15He got interested in hunting me.
00:05:17He didn't hate me for stalking him, any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
00:05:21As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
00:05:23Perhaps.
00:05:24But would you change places with the tiger?
00:05:27Well, not now.
00:05:32Here comes that bad luck lady again.
00:05:34Third time tonight.
00:05:37Here, let me shuffle him.
00:05:38Wait a minute.
00:05:39Don't evade the issue.
00:05:40Yes, Tom.
00:05:41I asked you a question.
00:05:42Yes.
00:05:43You did?
00:05:44Oh, I forgot.
00:05:45Oh, no, you didn't.
00:05:46I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the game if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.
00:05:50You gotcha now, Bob.
00:05:52Well, that's something I'll never have to decide.
00:05:54No?
00:05:55Listen here, you fellas.
00:05:56This world's divided into two kinds of people.
00:05:59The hunter and the hunted.
00:06:00Luckily, I'm a hunter.
00:06:02Nothing can ever change that.
00:06:04Hang on!
00:06:16Hello.
00:06:17Hello, down there.
00:06:18Hello, engine room.
00:06:19The animal's flooded.
00:06:20Water ever hits those hot boilers.
00:06:22Let's go.
00:06:52Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:07:22Let's go.
00:07:23I can't see.
00:07:24Nobody left but us two and... and that fellow.
00:07:31Chuck!
00:07:33Help!
00:07:34Look!
00:07:35Chuck!
00:07:36Shark!
00:07:41Oh! He got me!
00:08:06Oh!
00:08:36Oh!
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:36Oh!
00:09:38Oh!
00:09:40Oh!
00:09:42Oh!
00:09:44Oh!
00:09:50Oh!
00:10:36Hello, anybody here?
00:10:52Anybody around, I say?
00:10:58Oh, hello.
00:11:00Is this your house?
00:11:01Yes.
00:11:05I'm not trying to break in, but I've been in a wreck.
00:11:10Our yacht just sunk with all hands.
00:11:13I got ashore and found your place here by accident.
00:11:19I'm not trying to intrude, but I'm in sort of a jam.
00:11:22Don't you understand any English?
00:11:28Ivan does not speak any language.
00:11:30He has the misfortune to be dumb.
00:11:33Oh, hello.
00:11:35Are you the owner here?
00:11:36Yes.
00:11:37Welcome to my poor fortress.
00:11:40Fortress?
00:11:41It once was.
00:11:43Built by the Portuguese centuries ago.
00:11:46I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
00:11:50I am Count Zaroff.
00:11:52My name's Robert Rainsford.
00:11:54Glad to meet you.
00:11:56Very glad.
00:11:59Ivan is a Cossack.
00:12:01I am afraid, like all my fellow countrymen,
00:12:03he is a bit of a savage.
00:12:05Smile, Ivan.
00:12:06I am afraid, Ivan.
00:12:10Who lit nice?
00:12:17I was trying to make him understand
00:12:19there'd been a shipwreck in the channel.
00:12:22Short was me.
00:12:23But how appalling.
00:12:25And you may say that you were the only survivor.
00:12:28Yes.
00:12:30I'm afraid I am.
00:12:33You're certain?
00:12:36Well, I'd never left the spot if I hadn't been.
00:12:38The swellest crowd on earth.
00:12:40My best friends.
00:12:42It's incredible.
00:12:43Such things are always incredible.
00:12:46Death is for others, not for ourselves.
00:12:49That is how most of my other guests have felt.
00:12:52Your other guests?
00:12:54You mean this has happened before?
00:12:55My dear fellow, we have several survivors
00:12:57from the last wreck still in the house.
00:13:00It would seem that this island were cursed.
00:13:04That's just what the captain said.
00:13:07Only he thought it was uninhabited.
00:13:08We Cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.
00:13:12Well, it's a break for me anyway.
00:13:14My house is yours, sir.
00:13:16Oh, by the way,
00:13:17you'll want to change those wet rags immediately.
00:13:20Yes.
00:13:21They look about the way I feel.
00:13:22Yes.
00:13:24I have some loose hunting clothes
00:13:26which I keep for my guests
00:13:28that you can possibly get into.
00:13:30Ivan will show you to your room.
00:13:35You will find a stiff drink there also.
00:13:41Thanks a lot.
00:13:42Pras-chu.
00:13:44All pleasure is mine.
00:13:54Come in.
00:14:16Come in.
00:14:19Ready, Raceford?
00:14:20All set.
00:14:24I'm afraid we have finished dinner, but I have ordered something for you.
00:14:29Thanks.
00:14:29I don't feel like eating.
00:14:31Oh, dear, dear.
00:14:32Well, perhaps later.
00:14:34Now then, what do you say to coffee and most charming company?
00:14:44It is hard to forget your comrade's fate, I know, but our feminine guest is easily perturbed.
00:14:50If I could beg you to put a good face up on the matter, assume a cheerfulness you may not feel.
00:14:58Why, sure, of course.
00:15:08Miss Trowbridge, may I present Mr. Robert Rainsford, Miss Eve Trowbridge.
00:15:12How'd you do?
00:15:14How'd he do?
00:15:14And her brother, Mr. Martin Trowbridge.
00:15:16How are you, old chap?
00:15:17Pretty well shaken up, I guess, eh?
00:15:19Coming out of it now, thanks.
00:15:20We know just how it feels.
00:15:21Don't we?
00:15:22Indeed, we do.
00:15:25Perhaps Mr. Rainsford would like some hot coffee.
00:15:27Oh, yes, of course.
00:15:28Mr. Rainsford, please sit here.
00:15:30Oh, thank you.
00:15:31Digust to coffee vodka.
00:15:33Vodka, that's the stuff.
00:15:35One shot will dry out quicker than all the coffee and java.
00:15:38Have to toss it off, though.
00:15:39Like this.
00:15:40Now, Martin, you don't have to drink it all tonight, do you?
00:15:43Don't be ridiculous, sis.
00:15:45We are victims of circumstance.
00:15:47Same as Mr. Rainsford.
00:15:49And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.
00:15:52Isn't that so, Count?
00:15:53Of course, yes.
00:15:54You were in the shipwreck, too, I understand.
00:15:56Yes.
00:15:56Our lifeboat was the only one saved.
00:15:59My brother and I and two sailors.
00:16:01The Count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
00:16:05Those channel lights must have been shifted.
00:16:07I wonder it hasn't been reported.
00:16:08Well, we'll report them.
00:16:10Just as soon as we get back to the mainland.
00:16:11You see, the Count has only one launch.
00:16:15And that's under repair.
00:16:20Russians are not the best mechanics.
00:16:24I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.
00:16:27That's all right with me.
00:16:28I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.
00:16:32Speaking of that, perhaps now you'll tell us a little bit about who you are.
00:16:35Just sketchily, you know.
00:16:37Born, married, why I left my last job.
00:16:39No, no, no, no. One moment, please.
00:16:42Mr. Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house.
00:16:45No?
00:16:46No, we entertain a celebrity, Miss Trowbridge.
00:16:48Wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't tell me.
00:16:50Let me guess.
00:16:51I know.
00:16:55Flagpole sitter.
00:16:56Oh, flagpole sitter.
00:16:57I know. He wrote some books.
00:16:58No, he lived some books.
00:17:00If I am not mistaken, this is Mr. Robert Rainsford, who hunts big games so adventurously.
00:17:06Huh?
00:17:06Yes, do you?
00:17:07I've lugged the gun around a little.
00:17:09I've lugged the gun around a little.
00:17:11No, I have read your books.
00:17:12I read all books on hunting.
00:17:15A papirosu?
00:17:18Only in yours have I found a sane point of view.
00:17:22What do you mean, sane?
00:17:23Cigarette?
00:17:24Yeah, thanks.
00:17:25You do not excuse what needs no excuse.
00:17:28Now, let me see. How did you put it?
00:17:30Hunting is as much a game as stud poker.
00:17:33Only the limits are higher.
00:17:35You have put our case perfectly, Mr. Rainsford.
00:17:38Well, then you're a hunter yourself.
00:17:40We are kindred spirits.
00:17:42It is my one passion.
00:17:43He sleeps all day and hunts all night.
00:17:47And what's more, Rainsford, he'll have you doing the same thing.
00:17:50We'll have capital sport together, I hope.
00:17:52Don't encourage him.
00:17:54You know, he's had our two sailors so busy chasing around the woods after Flora and Fana
00:17:58that we haven't seen him for three days.
00:18:03But what do you hunt here?
00:18:07I'll tell you.
00:18:09You will be amused, I know.
00:18:11I have done a rare thing.
00:18:14I have invented a new sensation.
00:18:17And is he stingy with it?
00:18:19What is this sensation, Count?
00:18:21Mr. Rainsford, God made some men poets.
00:18:25Some he made kings.
00:18:27Some beggars.
00:18:28Me, he made a hunter.
00:18:30My hand was made for the trigger, my father told me.
00:18:37He was a very rich man with a quarter of a million acres in the Crimea and an ardent sportsman.
00:18:43When I was only stir up high, he gave me my first gun.
00:18:47Good for him.
00:18:47My life has been one glorious hunt.
00:18:51It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed.
00:18:54But when the revolution slaved up...
00:18:57Look now.
00:18:58Victory, stop.
00:19:02Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:04Count Zarif was so interesting, I didn't realize the danger.
00:19:11Oh, it's all right now.
00:19:12What were you saying about the revolution, Count?
00:19:14Oh, merely that I escaped with most of my fortune.
00:19:18Naturally, I continued to hunt.
00:19:21All over the world.
00:19:23It was in Africa that the Cape Buffalo gave me this.
00:19:27That must have been a close call.
00:19:28Yes, it still bothers me sometimes.
00:19:32However, in two months, I was on my way to the Amazon.
00:19:36I'd heard that the jaguars there were unusually cunning.
00:19:40No, no, no.
00:19:41No sport at all.
00:19:43Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.
00:19:46One night as I lay in my tent with this, this head of mine,
00:19:52a terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.
00:19:56Hunting was beginning to bore me.
00:19:59Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
00:20:02It is, my dear lady, when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
00:20:07When I lost my love of hunting, I lost my love of life.
00:20:11Of love.
00:20:18Well, you seem to have stood it pretty well.
00:20:20I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
00:20:24I made myself perfect in the use of the tartar wobble.
00:20:29Tartar which?
00:20:31Tartar wobble.
00:20:33That one up there.
00:20:35That's cute.
00:20:42Even to this day, I prefer to hunt with it.
00:20:44But alas, even that was too deadly.
00:20:46What I needed was not a new weapon,
00:20:49but a new animal.
00:20:52A new animal?
00:20:53Tartar wobble.
00:20:54Exactly so.
00:20:57You found one?
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:03Here on my island,
00:21:05I hunt the most dangerous game.
00:21:10The most dangerous game?
00:21:14You mean tigers?
00:21:15Tigers?
00:21:16No.
00:21:17The tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.
00:21:25I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water.
00:21:28Was that it?
00:21:29It's no use, Rainsford.
00:21:39He won't tell.
00:21:41He won't even let you see his trophy room
00:21:43till he gets ready to take you on the hunt of the great Watson.
00:21:48My one secret.
00:21:50I keep it as a surprise for my guests
00:21:53against the rainy day of boredom.
00:21:56That's no, boy.
00:21:57You let me in on that game,
00:21:58and I'll bet you I'll go for it.
00:22:01You know, Rainsford,
00:22:02he hasn't failed yet.
00:22:03If he says the thing is good,
00:22:05it is good.
00:22:06He's a judge of liquor,
00:22:08wizard at a contract,
00:22:09plays a piano,
00:22:11anything you want.
00:22:12He's a good host
00:22:14and a good scowl, right, Count?
00:22:16Yes, yes.
00:22:17You want me to go hunting?
00:22:18All right.
00:22:19You just say the word.
00:22:20We're pals.
00:22:21We'll have a big party,
00:22:22get cock-eyed and go hunting.
00:22:23A completely civilized point of view.
00:22:26Listen, I'll do what you do.
00:22:27You come to my place in Yadirondi sometime, see?
00:22:31We'll have a private car,
00:22:32liquor and gals on the trip,
00:22:34and the guides will make the dears behave.
00:22:39I think we'd better change the subject.
00:22:42All right.
00:22:43Change the subject.
00:22:45Oh, I know.
00:22:45Play the piano, huh?
00:22:47If you wish.
00:22:49Good idea.
00:22:50Play the piano.
00:22:51Now leave it to me,
00:22:52and I'll fix everything.
00:22:53Perhaps the Count doesn't want to play.
00:22:57Now there you go.
00:22:58It's just dry cold water.
00:23:00Now leave me alone.
00:23:01I know what the piano is.
00:23:02I'm perfectly sober.
00:23:05A charming simplicity.
00:23:07Completely civilized, did you say?
00:23:09He talks of wine and women
00:23:11as a prelude to the hunt.
00:23:13We barbarians know
00:23:14that it is after the chase
00:23:16and then only
00:23:16that man revels.
00:23:18It does seem a bit like cocktails
00:23:20before breakfast.
00:23:21Of course, yes.
00:23:21You know the saying
00:23:22of the O'Gandhi chieftains.
00:23:24Hunt first the enemy,
00:23:26then the woman.
00:23:27That's the savagest idea everywhere.
00:23:29It is the natural instinct.
00:23:31What is woman?
00:23:33Even such a woman as this,
00:23:35until the blood is quickened
00:23:37by the kill.
00:23:39Oh, I don't know.
00:23:40Oh, I don't know.
00:23:42You Americans.
00:23:44One passion builds upon another.
00:23:47Kill.
00:23:49Then love.
00:23:51When you have known that,
00:23:53you will have known ecstasy.
00:23:58Oh, Martin.
00:24:03Introducing Zaroff,
00:24:04the keyboard king
00:24:05in his Brank Island Hour.
00:24:08Come on, Count.
00:24:09Now you're shown.
00:24:10What do you suggest?
00:24:11Oh, just a good tune.
00:24:12But not highbrow like last night.
00:24:15Just a good tune, see?
00:24:16I see.
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:17Oh, it's hunting dogs.
00:24:45Keep your voice low and listen.
00:24:48It isn't true about the launch
00:24:49needing repairs.
00:24:49I heard it leave the boat house
00:24:50last night.
00:24:51It returned this morning.
00:24:53You mean he's keeping you
00:24:54from returning to the mainland?
00:24:55Yes.
00:24:58Well, perhaps he enjoys the company
00:25:00of two very charming people.
00:25:02Two, maybe.
00:25:03There were four of us a week ago.
00:25:05The other two have disappeared.
00:25:08What do you mean?
00:25:10One night after dinner,
00:25:11the cop took one of our sailors
00:25:12down to see his trophy move.
00:25:13at the foot of those stone steps.
00:25:18That iron door?
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:20Two nights later,
00:25:21he took the other day.
00:25:23Neither has been seen since.
00:25:27Have you asked him about them?
00:25:28He says they've gone hunting.
00:25:30Oh, be careful.
00:25:31He's watching us.
00:25:33Will you smile
00:25:34as if I've said something funny?
00:25:36Well, now look here,
00:25:38you must be mistaken.
00:25:39Not now.
00:25:39A plot.
00:25:41Ah, boy.
00:25:47Ah, boy.
00:25:49What did I tell you?
00:25:50Smack some in ivory, eh, Rainsford?
00:25:52It was splendid.
00:25:53Don't stop, please.
00:25:54Now, I'm afraid we have failed
00:25:55to hold the full attention
00:25:57of our audience.
00:25:58Well, I...
00:25:59I expect it's rather difficult
00:26:01for Mr. Rainsford
00:26:01to concentrate on anything
00:26:03after all he's been through.
00:26:04Oh, my dear lady,
00:26:05you are pleading for yourself.
00:26:07I can see the drooping
00:26:08of those lovely eyes.
00:26:11Excuse me.
00:26:13Provideon aver.
00:26:15You know,
00:26:15the Count's worse
00:26:16than a family governess.
00:26:17Every night,
00:26:17he sends us off to bed
00:26:18like naughty children.
00:26:19Oh, no, my dear.
00:26:21No.
00:26:23Charming children.
00:26:24There.
00:26:29You hear that, sis?
00:26:30Now, try along upstairs
00:26:31and don't bother us grown-ups anymore.
00:26:33Well, after that,
00:26:34I guess...
00:26:35I guess I'll have to go.
00:26:37Good night, Mr. Rainsford.
00:26:38Good night.
00:26:39We'll be seeing each other
00:26:40at breakfast.
00:26:41Good night.
00:26:42Good night.
00:26:43Good night, sis.
00:26:44We won't be seeing each other
00:26:45at breakfast.
00:26:46Good night.
00:26:47Good night, sis.
00:26:48We won't be seeing each other
00:26:48at breakfast.
00:26:49Oh, my dear Rainsford,
00:26:52I have been most inconsiderate.
00:26:53You must be feeling
00:26:54the need of sleep, too.
00:26:56Yes, I am just about all in.
00:26:58Then Ivan will show you
00:26:59to your room.
00:27:01Oh, excuse your comrade, don't.
00:27:05Well, Martin,
00:27:07turn in early, please.
00:27:09Don't worry.
00:27:10The Count will take care
00:27:11of me, all right.
00:27:14Indeed, I shall.
00:27:23Well, good night.
00:27:34Good night, sir.
00:27:35Sleep well.
00:27:36Oh, well, here's long life.
00:27:51A long life.
00:27:54Tell me, Mr. Trowbridge,
00:27:57are you also fatigued?
00:27:59Tired?
00:28:00Me?
00:28:01You know I'm not.
00:28:03You know, Rainsford,
00:28:04and we two are just a light.
00:28:06Up all night
00:28:07and sleep all day.
00:28:09Well, good night.
00:28:13Well, what are we going to do, huh?
00:28:19What's the big idea?
00:28:20I thought that perhaps
00:28:24tonight
00:28:25you would like to see
00:28:28my trophy room?
00:28:30Your trophy room?
00:28:31I'm sure you will find it
00:28:33most
00:28:34interesting.
00:28:38Say, that's a great idea.
00:28:40Oh, now we're pals.
00:28:42No more secrets now, huh?
00:28:44We'll make a night of it.
00:28:45I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge.
00:28:47Just you and I, pals.
00:28:49We'll have fun together, huh?
00:28:51Precisely, yes.
00:28:54Fun together.
00:28:56Ah, boy, Connie,
00:28:57oh boy, oh boy, Connie.
00:28:59Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
00:29:29Please let me come in.
00:29:41I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm frightened.
00:29:45What was it, those dogs?
00:29:46My brother.
00:29:47I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.
00:29:49I've just gone to his room.
00:29:51He isn't there.
00:29:52Well, he's probably somewhere with a count.
00:29:54That's just what I'm afraid of.
00:29:56Count Zarath is planning something.
00:29:57About my brother and me.
00:30:00You don't really think anything's happened to your brother?
00:30:02Oh, I don't know, but we've got to find him.
00:30:04Won't you help me?
00:30:06Well, of course I'll help you.
00:30:09Where do you think he's gone?
00:30:10Where did the others go?
00:30:14The iron door.
00:30:17I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.
00:30:27That's queer.
00:30:51It's unlocked.

00:34:06I always bring them here before the hunt.
00:34:09An hour with my trophies,
00:34:12and they usually do their best to keep away from me.
00:34:14Where do you get these poor devils?
00:34:17Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.
00:34:22But there are light buoys to mark the safe channel.
00:34:26They do not always mark it.
00:34:29You shifted them.
00:34:30Precisely right.
00:34:32Too bad your yacht should have suffered.
00:34:34But at least it brought us together.
00:34:37You take half-drowned men from ships you've wrecked
00:34:39and drive them out to be hunted.
00:34:41I give them every consideration.
00:34:44Good food, exercise,
00:34:46everything to get them in splendid shape.
00:34:49To be shot down in cold blood.
00:34:50Oh, no, no, no.
00:34:52Oh, I admit with this annoying fellow,
00:34:55but usually I give them hunting clothes,
00:34:58a woodsman's knife,
00:34:59and a full day start.
00:35:01Why, I even wait until midnight
00:35:03to give them the full advantage of the dark.
00:35:05And if one eludes me,
00:35:07only till sunrise he wins the game.
00:35:11Suppose he refuses to be hunted.
00:35:17Ivan is such an artist with these.
00:35:21Invariably, Mr. Rainsford,
00:35:23invariably they choose to hunt.
00:35:26And when they win?
00:35:33To date, I have not lost.
00:35:37Oh, Rainsford,
00:35:38you'll find this game worth playing.
00:35:40When the next ship arrives,
00:35:42we'll have gorgeous sport together.
00:35:44You murdering rat,
00:35:45I'm a hunter.
00:35:46Not an assassin.
00:35:48Come, Rainsford.
00:35:49Say you will hunt with me.
00:35:50Hunt men?
00:35:55Say you will hunt with me.
00:36:03No.
00:36:05What do you think I am?
00:36:07One I fear
00:36:09who dare not follow
00:36:10his own convictions
00:36:11to their logical conclusion.
00:36:14I'm afraid in this instance,
00:36:17Mr. Rainsford,
00:36:18you may have to follow them.
00:36:22What do you mean?
00:36:25I shall not wait
00:36:26for the next ship.
00:36:29Four o'clock.
00:36:31The sun is just rising.
00:36:32Come, Mr. Rainsford.
00:36:39Let us not waste time.
00:36:55Come on.
00:36:58Here, guess.
00:37:02Your fangs and claws,
00:37:04Mr. Rainsford.
00:37:05Ah!
00:37:07Ah!
00:37:20Ivan!
00:37:22Oh!
00:37:23Oh, what am I going to do?
00:37:25I'm going to be hunted.
00:37:26Oh, no.
00:37:27No, Miss Trowbridge.
00:37:28Outdoor chess.
00:37:30His brain against mine.
00:37:32His woodcraft against mine.
00:37:36And the prize?
00:37:38The prize?
00:37:40You may recall
00:37:40what I said last evening.
00:37:43Only after the kill
00:37:45does man know
00:37:46the true extorsi of love.
00:37:50Suppose you lose.
00:37:53If I do not,
00:37:55what shall I say,
00:37:56find you
00:37:57between
00:37:59midnight and sunrise tomorrow,
00:38:01freedom for both of you.
00:38:03I'm going with you.
00:38:04No.
00:38:05He'll kill you, too.
00:38:06Not at all.
00:38:07One does not kill
00:38:08the female animal.
00:38:10If you lose,
00:38:11I can easily
00:38:11recapture her alive.
00:38:13All right.
00:38:14I'll take her with me, then.
00:38:15We'll set him a trail
00:38:16he'll remember.
00:38:17It's only fair
00:38:23to advise you
00:38:24against
00:38:24Fog Hollow.
00:38:29Outdoor chess,
00:38:30Mr. Rainsman.
00:38:31Don't lose your nerve.
00:38:47We beat this thing.
00:38:48The others didn't.
00:38:50We will.
00:38:50Come on, let's get going.
00:39:20Just a little more of this.
00:39:51An easy downhill going.
00:39:53Soon be safe.
00:39:53No wonder he was so sure.
00:40:21This island's no bigger
00:40:22than a deer park.
00:40:24Oh, Bob!
00:40:27Come on, now.
00:40:30What are we going to do?
00:40:32We didn't each live
00:40:33through a shipwreck.
00:40:34So let this crazy
00:40:35manhunter worry us.
00:40:37I shouldn't have come with you.
00:40:39You might beat him
00:40:39if you were alone.
00:40:41Alone?
00:40:42And leave you here
00:40:42with that savage?
00:40:44Not a chance.
00:40:45Now we've got to think
00:40:49of something
00:40:49to worry him.
00:40:51Oh, you'd never
00:40:51get near him.
00:40:52It'd shoot on sight.
00:40:54Weapons aren't
00:40:54everything in the jungle.
00:40:57Say,
00:40:58did you notice
00:40:58that leaning tree
00:40:59down there?
00:40:59The one we just passed?
00:41:02Yes.
00:41:03Come on,
00:41:03I want to show you
00:41:03something.
00:41:04You see?
00:41:09If that supporting branch
00:41:10were cut away,
00:41:11this fallen tree
00:41:12would make a perfect
00:41:13melee deadfall.
00:41:14A melee deadfall?
00:41:15What's that?
00:41:15A man-killing contraption
00:41:16that natives use.
00:41:18Stop that madman,
00:41:19all right.
00:41:20Trouble is,
00:41:21it takes quite a few
00:41:21hours to build.
00:41:23He said he wouldn't
00:41:23fall until midnight.
00:41:24That's right.
00:41:26If you help me,
00:41:26I think we'll have time.
00:41:28Come on,
00:41:28we'll cut some
00:41:28strong vines.
00:41:29There.
00:41:35Almost ready.
00:41:37The bracelet of yours
00:41:38makes a fine guide
00:41:39ring for my necktie.
00:41:40He'll have been
00:41:41on his way
00:41:41almost an hour now.
00:41:43Look out!
00:41:44Don't touch that trip line,
00:41:46you'll have a two-ton
00:41:46tree down on your back.
00:41:48Jungle wood's
00:41:48as heavy as iron.
00:41:49Will it really work?
00:41:51I've never known
00:41:52a living thing
00:41:52to get by one yet.
00:41:54Look here.
00:41:55If you touch that trip line,
00:41:57you'll pull that trigger
00:41:58free.
00:41:59Once that's loose,
00:42:01there's nothing to keep
00:42:01the log from coming down.
00:42:03It'll crash down
00:42:04and kill anything
00:42:04underneath it.
00:42:09Look.
00:42:16We're ready.
00:42:17Let them come.
00:42:29Give me that knife.
00:42:37Give me that knife.
00:42:37Give me that knife.
00:42:38Go.
00:42:38Oh, my God.
00:42:39Go!
00:42:40Come on.
00:42:40Go!
00:42:41Go!
00:42:41Go!
00:42:46Go!
00:42:46Go!
00:42:47Go!
00:42:48Go!
00:42:48Go!
00:42:48Go!
00:42:49THE END
00:43:19THE END
00:43:49Surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted leopards would follow you into that ambush?
00:43:54Oh, very well. If you choose to play the leopard, I shall hunt you like a leopard.
00:44:07Wait. Maybe it's a trick.
00:44:28Maybe it's a trick.
00:44:58Why did he go?
00:45:08He's playing with us. Like a cat with a mouse.
00:45:11What do you mean?
00:45:12You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard.
00:45:14It means he's gone for his high-powered rifle.
00:45:16His rifle?
00:45:18Oh, Bob, we must get away from here.
00:45:20Eve, wait.
00:45:21No, I tell you. No!
00:45:44Don't stop. No!
00:45:46Wait. That's Fog Hollow ahead.
00:45:49Fog Hollow?
00:45:50The swamp where he caught the others.
00:45:52We haven't a chance of keeping ahead of him there.
00:45:54But there's no place else to run.
00:45:55That's just what he's counting on.
00:45:57We've got two hours till dawn.
00:45:59We've got to use our brains instead of our legs.
00:46:01But he'll have his rifle.
00:46:02And we'll have a man-trap.
00:46:04Look.
00:46:06Oh!
00:46:07It makes me drink.
00:46:16Cover this over.
00:46:18When Mr. Zaro falls down there, he'll be all through hunting.
00:46:22Quick, gather some leaves and grass.
00:46:24I'll cut some branches.
00:46:24I'll cut some branches.
00:46:54I'll cut some branches.
00:47:24I'll cut some branches.
00:47:54Yes, very good, Rainsford.
00:48:17Very good.
00:48:19You have not won yet.
00:48:22Look at your watch.
00:48:24Are you looking at it?
00:48:30Still half an hour till sunrise.
00:48:32Swamp or no swamp, we can keep ahead of them that long.
00:48:35As you are doubtless saying, the odds are against me.
00:48:40You have made my rifle useless in the fog.
00:48:45You cannot blame me if I overcome that obstacle.
00:48:54Come on.
00:48:55Come on.
00:48:59Come on.
00:49:02Come on.
00:49:03Oh, my God.
00:49:33Oh, my God.
00:50:03Oh, my God.
00:50:33Oh, my God.
00:51:03Oh, my God.
00:51:33Oh, my God.
00:52:03Oh, my God.
00:52:33Oh, my God.
00:53:03Oh, my God.
00:53:33Oh, my God.
00:54:03Oh, my God.
00:54:33Oh, my God.

00:55:33Oh, my God.
00:56:03Oh, my God.
00:56:33Oh, my God.

00:58:33Oh, my God.
00:59:03Oh, my God.
00:59:33Oh, my God.
01:00:03Oh, my God.
01:00:33Oh, my God.
01:01:03Oh, my God.
01:01:33Oh, my God.
01:02:03Oh, my God.
01:02:33Oh, my God.
